1t is always q matter of surprise to
visitors to Dakota to sec so many young
men on the farms and in the towns OF
this territory, and they are constrained
to inquire the meaning. 1t is II very
simple problem, and means that the
best part Of the life, energy and enter.
prise Of the states have been given to
fill the arteries and strengthen the
slnews Of this young giant, Dakota. 1t
means that the young man OF push and
brains does not stay in the overcrow1cd
slow moving eastern communities, but
pushes his way steadily tothe front where
he is not compelled to compete with
the accumulated capital of ages, and
where energy, enterprise and labor fur
nlsh the start so much desired by the
youth Of the east. This Is why e%ight-tcnths
Of the business mcn in Dakota towns are
under thirty years OF age, and why they
have been termed all over the union,
dakota Rustlers." 1t is also one of
elements which will assure to Dakota Il
bright and prosperous future.

GOV. WILSON, in his speech at Wheel
ing, Va, during the G. A. r. reunion,
assumed that the people who attempted
to shoot this Nation full of HOES be-
tween the years 1860 and 1865 were
mot rebels but patriots" He went a
step further and said the G. A. r. re-
unions were Republican schemes
1t is needless to say that GOV. Wilson
is a Democrat. 1t was ON that occa-
sion that the old veterans refused 10
parade beneath q picture Of Cleveland
swung across the street by men who
vote the same ticket Gov. Wilson votes.
The Wheeling Register (Dem.), in front
ofwhose Office the Cleveland picture was
hung, refers to the men who refused to
pass beneath it as TRAITORS in sentiment
as black as Bureaguard." These are the
facts Of history.

excellent living sitting in a superb office
here, and Day has to hustle tor his ra-
tons. But they are both Democrats. 1t
is no wonder that they see policies from
different standpoints though. Tho COM
missioner loves Cleveland for the office
which he has, and Day hates Cleveland
for the promises that he broke. Each
mar has reason for his opinions, yet
they may be good friends, and drink tho
same kind of Lethe.
Tho people along the Missouri river.
and in the Hills, are said to be raising
funds for the purpose Of sending dele
cations here next winter to work for the
opening of the reservation. They have
already spent enough money in that man
ner to buy all of the best land in question.
1t costs money to support a score OF
lobbyists in Washington, besides paying
them for their time. There are such di-
versities Of interest here and there, that
a large delegation will be not only super
fluous, but deleterious in effect upon the
proposed bill. One good man, located
here and knowing tho ropes, could do
more than a score of men sen in on q
mission of cheap big talk" with all the
members Of congress i'll both ends OF the
Capitol. The fact is, this matter has
never been properly handled. 1t has
been vigorously pushed, too 1t has becr
intelligently managed. Nevertheless, it
has never been properly done. Too
many cooks have spoiled tho broth.
Adverse railroads spend thousands OF
dollars in "explaining' to members
the reasons why they should not vote
for the bill. The interested people,
spend less money, and most of their con.
tributions go into the hotels of this city.
One man with 5000 to use in %"oxplain-
ing'' the merits Of the bill could boat
tho corporations with $4,000 at their
disposal. Fact There was II time in

tactorily "explained" forSlO,OoO. 1t wa.
no guesswork, but actual Information
of the best kind. But MIR. Mcclure did
not believe that tho bill could DO 'ex-
planned at any cost. Hence, the time
passed, and the matter was "explained'
by adverse interests and tho bill did no
pass; nor was there Il time after that oc
casion when there was II likelihood o
its passage.

Hot Wheat.

ST. PAUL. Aug. 2S.-Owing to tine
heavy dockage for dirt. farmers are
showing a sane disposition to store their
wheat this fall. Unless the wheat ls
cleaned before storing it will heat, and
there will be more hot wheat in the
northwest this fall than there ever was
at Chicago. A great deal of the wheat
ARRIVING carries m unusually large
amount of dirt and seeds. These contain
a great deal of moisture, and i: the
wheat is stored without being run
through a separator it wouldn't be thirty
days before the grain would be ruined.
Farmers cannot be to careful with their
wheat this year, us q great deal of it
vas threshed while damp, and will
quickly heat OR mold in the granery.
Reports received yesterday show that
a considerable percentage of the grain
has been injured, but it is now too soon
to give any estimate of the damage rs a
great deal depends on the. weather dur.
ing the next few weeks.

he had lived six years continuously
upon the land. and that the land com.

and put over $1,000 worth Of improve.
ments in the way OF COOL house and
barn, wells, fencing, etc, upon it. Ate,
living on 1t eight months his wife became
insane, and because he took her to ILL.
nos to place her in an asylum and
stayed some weeks to take care OF his

abandoned his claim, improvements
aud all, and could not commute the
entry upon his return. Still the cattle
companies ilurish, and the miles of
fences stand.

He HAS A CHANCE YET.

The Argus hopes to see every county
take an interest in the matter of division.
The call Of committee is published and
the apportlonment made ought to bring q
large number Of representative men to-.
gether. So far back as 1882 The Argus
was i'll Washington with Judges Barnes,
Mcconnell, Messrs. Hubbard and others
doing all possible, to aid Congressman
Pettigrew TO eecure division. Had it
not been for some of the mistakes made
by the delegations from the South, divis-
ion would haye prevailed at that time.
Thousands of new citizens haye come
since and peopled the broad prairies of
North Dakota-each should take o
position and do his part.-Fargo Argus.
The 1882 divisionlst is a poor stick
o if he has failed to be consistently
for division ever since. Dakota is as
lar=e today as it was in 1882 and just rs
much in need Of division. The man
who could take the time and 60 to the
expense of a trip to Washington five
years ago to "ald" in securing division
should now be in a position to do a great
deal more for the cause than Major
Edwards is doing. Nothing that we
have seen in the Argus of late years
would indicate that the major has ever
had a pronounced opinion on the sub
ject. The time is short. The people
will vote upon the subject in No.
venbcr. Division will carry by a very
large majority. The Argus man should
lose no time in establishing his position
on this important question. By close
attention to business and the j, rofuse
use of en- dashcs he may succeed in
making himself believe that he has
been a divlsionlst all along, so that
when the territory is eventually divided,
AS 1t will be, and those who have been
consistent d~ivisionists because it is
right will haye reason to feel proud
OF their achievements, the major can

shores of the murmuring Mouse.
